The eye-watering wages Saudi Arabia plan to offer Mo Salah after announcing Liverpool departure - report
Mo Salah has confirmed that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the 2025-26 season.
The Saudi Pro League are planning to make Mohamed Salah one of the world’s best players after announcing his Liverpool departure.
The winger confirmed that he will bring the curtain down on his nine-year Anfield career at the end of the 2025-26 season. Salah is one of the Reds’ greatest players in history and is third on the club’s goalscoring charts. Since arriving from AS Roma in 2017, he has netted 255 times in 435 appearances - winning two Premier League titles, the Champions League, Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup , two Carabao Cups and the FA Cup.
And despite his contract running until 2027, the Egypt international will leave for free in June. Salah’s form has dipped somewhat this campaign and turning 34 in the summer, he has decided on the next chapter of his career.
In a video on social media, Salah said: “Unfortunately, the day has come. This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
“I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, these people would become part of my life. Liverpool is not just a football club. It’s a passion. It’s a history. It’s a spirit I can’t explain in words to anyone not part of this club. We celebrated victory, we won the most important trophies and we fought together through the hardest time in our life.
“I want to thank everyone who was part of this club throughout my time here, especially the teammates, past and present, and to the fans … I don’t have enough words. The support you showed me through the best time of my career and you stood by me in the toughest times, it’s something I will never forget and something I will take with me always.
“Leaving is never easy. You gave me the best time of my life. I will be always one of you. This club will always be my home to me and to my family. Thank you for everything. Because of all of you, I will never walk alone.”
Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas Issa says that no decision has been made on where the Egypt international will play next campaign. He has been wanted by the Saudi Pro League in the past, with Liverpool rebuffing a £150 million bid in 2023.
But being an icon in the Arab world, the interest remains. According to winwin.com reporter Ismael Mahmoud, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) - who fund the league in the country - are ready to offer Salah an annual salary of €100 million. Mahmoud posted on X: “The Saudi Public Investment Fund is planning to offer a €100 million annual salary and a two-year contract to convince Mohamed Salah to move to the Saudi Pro League, which would make him one of the highest-paid players in the world.”
Meanwhile, it is reported by Mahmoud that Salah will become Al-Ittihad’s top target after the exit of Karim Benzema to Saudi Pro League rivals Al-Hilal.
